Monero <-> Bitcoin atomic swaps (codename: farcaster) are coming later this year. In the mean time, you can use Bisq.

read the whole thing. KYC only dropped for ERC 20 transactions , which uniswap already does and is not the same as a cross-chain transaction. The abiltiy to exchange erc 20 tokens is native to Ethereum.
expect them to drop KYC for other transactions as soon as the technology becomes available to do so
